Wednesday, July 10, 21:00, Lapidarium of the Poreč Homeland Museum
Jazz in the Lapidarium - Zvjezdan Ružić – Pianotron
Let's Disconnect Together is the name of Zvjezdan Ružić's concert tour and his Pianotron project. In an era when we are connected to each other on all possible devices and networks, it is so easy to neglect the beauty of the present moment and enjoy it. That is exactly what Zvjezdan wants, for you to connect with him and together wander into his magical world of music, where you will find compositions from his albums Delightful F and Inspiration.

Pianotron consists of three instruments - piano, mellotron, and pedals on which he pre-programs the sound that he later activates with a foot strike. Each of these instruments represents a part of Zvjezdan's personality. The piano represents knowledge, skill, and wisdom, the mellotron represents the playful child in him that plays with notes, and the pedals represent the one who constantly searches for something new. As impossible as it may sound, Zvjezdan plays all three instruments simultaneously. When he plays, he takes his audience on a journey through different prisms of the story he tells with notes. His goal is for the audience to hear, understand, and feel with their whole being what his music speaks. Pianotron allows him just that.
